Back in Black

At the 2015 Priority Auction, we sold a dam & cria pair – Patagonia’s Cholena & her cria, Liberty’s Allegiance.
Liberty’s Allegiance, a little true black girl with a gorilla face and fleece smothered head was, let me put it mildly….very hard to part with. They say, to be successful at auctions, you have to sell your best. And this little girl, was outstanding!
This weekend, at the CABA Classic show held in Portland, I got a chance to show her for her new owner Nancy Chapel, of Patagonia Estates located in Bend, Oregon. While Nancy took her to win first in her juvenile female class – I was given the opportunity to take “Allie” into the championship class. Nancy was working hard to make sure she made it to the male class, so I was trying to be helpful.
It’s a rare moment when a breeder gets to take their alpaca into a championship for the new owner. And this was one of the highlights to my weekend! Liberty’s Allegiance took the Reserve Championship as a juvenile! What a joyful and proud moment in the showring!
Thanks and congratulations to Nancy Chapel for letting me spend some time with this little girl. She is one of my all-time favorites!
